And honestly, if it's not, its a good indication that it's time to move away from that product as they don't care about a huge segment of their users.
- thfuran 5y agoOr it's actually a tiny segment of their users.
- drcongo 5y agoDropbox and Signal are the only two I ever use, and yeah, the lack of interest in porting to M1 from both of those companies is increasing my lack of interest in their apps.
- nintendo1889 5y agoThat page says that both of those apps are supported.
- MBCook 5y agoI believe Dropbox was in the last few months. Which was still over a year after public release of the M1.
- superkuh 5y agoI'm sure most extremely popular corporate software has been ported. But that's just a tiny fraction of the available software. I know most Apple users don't try anything outside their walled garden so it doesn't make a difference to them, but the vast majority of possible software has not and will not ever be ported to a form that can run on the M1 architecture. Whereas on x86 Apple computers you can compile and run pretty much everything.
